PPA for Linux Mint
How do I install Task Coach in Linux Mint 13 Maya using the Ubuntu PPA?
The process is nearly the same as setting up the PPA for Ubuntu, however you need to adjust the distribution name after adding the PPA source.
Follow the instructions for adding the PPA source line as outlined in the PPA for Ubuntu article. After adding the source, but before refreshing/updating the source list, do the following:
- Open "Software Sources" (if not already open)
- Go to the "Other Software" tab, then find the taskcoach listings in the list of sources.
- Select the first line ("http://ppa.launchpad.net/taskcoach-developers/ppa/ubuntu maya main") and click "Edit..."
- In the popup, replace "maya" with "precise" (since Linux Mint 13 is built on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin).
- Click "OK", then do the same for the Source Code apt line.
- Click close, refresh/update the source list as necessary, then proceed with installing Task Coach.
Command line (as root):
apt-add-repository ppa:taskcoach-developers/ppa
sed -i 's/maya/precise/g'
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/taskcoach-developers-ppa-maya.list
aptitude update
aptitude install taskcoach
